Daylight Saving to be made permanent
-
"WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The U.S. Senate on Tuesday passed legislation that would make daylight saving time permanent starting in 2023, ending the twice-annual changing of clocks ..."
It still awaits action in the House of Representatives. The White House also has not indicate whether Biden supports it.

No thank you. I don’t want my son walking to school in the dark several months a year.

I really don’t get the DST hate.
Yes it’s a minor inconvenience changing the few remaining clocks that don’t change automatically,
But it’s nice the boy has daylight to walk to school in winter and I love my summer evenings grilling at 8:30pm.DON’T let them eat cake.

I’ve seen credible arguments that it doesn’t save energy, and that there are a handful of excess deaths after a time change.
But let’s be honest - neither of those are the reasons the dST haters are hating.

Oh, I agree and generally like it for exactly the same reasons you do…

I don’t think those people give much thought to an 8:30 am sunrise in December (if you make DST permanent) or darker summer evenings if you eliminate it.
I think they literally are just unhappy about the act of changing the clock.

Most of the world's countries do not use DST, but it is common in Europe and North America.
The United States, Australia, the United Kingdom, Canada and many other countries have DST. These countries also have regions that do not have DST:
- United States: most of Arizona and Hawaii
- Australia: Queensland, Western Australia and the Northern Territory
- Canada: Saskatchewan except for a few locations with the border with Alberta and Manitoba, and the Yukon Territory
- Iceland, Russia, Belarus, and some parts of Ukraine are countries in Europe without DST.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Yes.
Changing the clocks makes a lot of sense.
Somehow, hating clock changing has become a virtue signal.

Here it is under provincial jurisdiction. We had a referendum last fall whether to stay with changing the clocks twice a year or permanent DST. The choice to remain in standard time was not offered by the Kenney regime. Thankfully reason prevailed and permanent DST was rejected.

Not anymore. They stopped that quite a few years ago.
